Are you curious about what pelvic floor therapy actually involves? Have you ever wondered whether issues like bladder leaks, painful sex, or postpartum discomfort are just “normal” things you have to live with? Do men experience pelvic floor dysfunction? (hint: yes, men also have pelvic floors). In this episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine is joined by Dr. Alicia Jeffrey-Thomas, a licensed pelvic floor physical therapist. Together, they're taking the mystery out of pelvic health and explaining why it matters for everyone—not just postpartum women.  Listeners will learn about the wide range of conditions pelvic PT can help with—from incontinence and prolapse to pain during sex and more. Dr. Jeffrey-Thomas and Dr. Shahine walk through what a pelvic PT appointment looks like, tackle myths about Kegels, discuss insurance coverage, and highlight the importance of proper toilet posture.  You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of overall pelvic health and feel empowered to take charge of your well-being—because pelvic pain and dysfunction are never “just part of life.”   In this episode you'll hear: [0:16] Meet Dr. Alicia Jeffrey-Thomas, PT, DPT, PRPC [1:57] Pelvic floor functions [3:58] What is pelvic floor therapy?

This sermon was preached on the occasion of Pastor Grant beginning a new, FT "tent making" job help continue with the ministry at PRPC. Looking at Paul, Aquila, and Priscilla for examples, we see that the ministry of God's Word throughout the world may sometimes involve trade work of its ministers. There is Precedence of Tent Making in Scripture to Prioritize and Perpetuate God's Ministry and People.

Her goal is to meet each person where they are on their pelvic health journey. Support and education will empower one to feel and move better. Dr. Amanda believes knowledge can lead to confidence within oneself to fully breathe life. Dr. Becca Jones, PT, DPT, CSCS, is a 2016 graduate of New York University as Doctor of Physical Therapy.

This is a recent cassette conversion into mp3 of a message by Rev. Wallace A. Bell, previous pastor at PRPC -for 30 years-, entitled -Personal Evangelism- How to Give the Gospel to Another.- It includes a PDF file that can be opened sharing the diagram he is referencing as it was published in the 1967 Presbyterian Guardian. - There is no date listed on the cassette, but it was probably recorded in the early 1970s based on other tapes on different subjects found in the same storage box with this tape. However, since the accompanying article is dated September 1969 we are giving it that date for the audio message on SA.

This is a recently converted message from a cassette tape by Rev. Wallace A. Bell, previous pastor of PRPC -for 30 years-. It was for a Thanksgiving Day Service.

This cassette was just discovered in storage at PRPC and converted regarding a special event on January 1, 1971. It hosted guest speaker Angelo Lo Vallo, a former priest speaking against Roman Catholicism.

This message is the first of a series by Rev. Wallace A. Bell on -Knowing Your Enemy-, this one, -The Reality of the Devil- The Accuser.- It was preached during an evening service at PRPC on August 8, 1999.

This sermon is part of a series by Rev. Wallace A. Bell, -Know Your Enemy the Devil.- It was recorded here at PRPC during the evening Sabbath worship service on August 15, 1999.

This sermon is our first attempt at an in-house converting of audio cassettes into digital form of sermons recorded during the 30 year ministry of Rev. Wallace A. Bell at PRPC to make his service available to new generations of Christians. This sermon is part of a 2-part series and was preached on November 21, 1999. If you would like to help us hire a company to convert thousands of tapes and make them available at a much quicker rate, please donate online or in the mail and note -Pastor Bell Tape Project-. The estimated cost is about -25K -and that's a discount and hard to find, we looked around and are ready to work with a friend of our current pastor located out of state-. Thank you-

Rev. Thomas Walters was sustained as a minister of the RPCGA and given an ordination charge sermon and took his vows during the New Geneva Presbytery at PRPC on April 20, 2023.

Looking to make more at your current job?  We give you the inside scoop on what your employer cares about.  (And, if you own your practice, this is how you want to evaluate your staff!).The short answer to increasing your earning potential is to provide more value to your employer.  The right lens for thinking about increases in pay is value.  How can I provide more value to the company?  If you do (and if your employer is fair) you should be able to increase your earning potential.What (likely) won't get you more money?  Having your doctorate, getting a new certification (WCS, OCS, PRPC, CSCS, etc.), or asking because of personal reasons for more.Instead, there really are three options:Expand Your Hours.  Probably not what you wanted to hear, but the simplest way to make more is to work more hours.  Especially if you're at a busy facility or you're working less than 40 hours per week, expanding your hours can result in more pay.Crush Your Role.  Getting better within your role (at what your boss or facility cares about) can result in a raise.  So if that's productivity or increased billings in an insurance-based practice, selling products or packages, or patient retention and outcomes.  But understanding what it means to be successful in your role is crucial.Increase Your Role.  The trickiest option, increasing your role involves finding something else you can do to add value to the company.Essential Pelvic Strengthening: Not Your Mama's Kegels courseNow open for Cohort 2 of the 'Not Your Mama's Kegels' course!  Get $50 off the course AND access to a LIVE Q&A when you register before March 17th.  More than 300 of you went through it in the first cohort, and it was a game-changer for so many of you in your clinical practice.  Check it out (www.pelvicptrising.com/kegels)!Business ResourcesIf you're starting or growing a cash-based pelvic health practice, we've got some great resources for you!  We've helped more than 200 practices take off in markets across the country.  From business courses, handouts and resources to true business mentorship in our Rising program, we've got something that can help.  Check out all our Business Resources (www.pelvicptrising.com/business) and fill out the Entrepreneur Survey there!About UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to physical therapists to change the way we treat pelvic health.   PelvicSanity Physical Therapy together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.Through Pelvic PT Rising, Nicole has created clinical courses (www.pelvicptrising.com/clinical) to help pelvic health providers gain confidence in their skills and provide frameworks to get better patient outcomes.  Together, Jesse and Nicole have helped nearly 200 pelvic practices start and grow through the Pelvic PT Rising Mentorship Program (Get in Touch!Learn more at www.pelvicptrising.com, follow Nicole @nicolecozeandpt (www.instagram.com/nicolecozeandpt) or reach out via email (nicole@pelvicsanity.com).Check out our Clinical Courses, Business Resources and learn more about us at Pelvic PT Rising...Let's Continue to Rise!

“You have pain where?!” People have often asked why a healthy person like me would need physical therapy. They are quite surprised to learn about pelvic-floor therapy… and it's not long before I hear “I have pain there too.” What was once a specialty that not even many obstetricians or urologists knew about, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is now a rapidly growing field with an outsized demand for new therapists. Treating conditions like urinary and fecal urgency, incontinence, prolapse, nerve entrapment, surgical scarring, pre and postpartum issues, visceral restrictions and sexual dysfunction, it's not hard to see why. When Elizabeth Makous became a physical therapist over 30 years ago there were only a couple of classes teaching pelvic floor therapy. When seeing a patient complaining of vaginal pain “deep inside” she donned a pair of gloves and began treating patients internally.  Elizabeth has continued to innovate new treatments in the field applying her unique kind of creativity to the world of medicine. After the home birth of her son she figured out a way to treat her own bathroom issues without surgery. She's developed protocols for successfully treating issues previously thought untreatable (even with surgery). She even approached a company called TheraWand to ask if she could make improvements to an existing vaginal wand product to more efficiently treat the pelvic floor rectally. After spending a year with a heat lamp sculpting plastic into the curves she felt would be more safe and effective… she'd created a brand new trigger wand that can be used to treat both men and women. Maybe it was the way she was raised… spending time in the clinic with her father, a doctor, and her mother, a nurse. Her grandfather was also a doctor in this small-town community who treated blacks for free during the segregation era in the South. Their passion spilled over in such a way that when meeting a patient with a need, Elizabeth says “there is a gift inside me that just looks for a way to treat it.” In this episode we talk about the importance of being your own medical advocate, how sitting for a living can be an occupational hazard, treating patients with lymphedema, pain management (without opioids), and how Covid restrictions didn't stop humans from needing touch. We also speak about being a highly-sensitive (HSP), the need for major reform in the emergency mental healthcare system, and how Elizabeth leans on her Catholic Chrisitan faith (for example: she took two medical mission-trips to Kenya in 2019 and 2021 helping to empower African men and women to alleviate pelvic pain and to treat female victims of female genital mutilation). Finally, chronic pain if left untreated can leave people feeling very desperate… and it doesn't have to be that way!

In today's episode, Theresa Feola , PT, WCS, PRPC, of Pelvic Room joins Dr. Joe Tatta. Theresa is a board-certified women's health therapist. She has served in clinical management roles throughout her career, but her clinical focus has been on the education and treatment of women's and men's pelvic health. Today, Theresa discusses the current state of women's health, the challenges women face in accessing appropriate pelvic health and physical therapy, and her creation and ongoing development of community-based childbirth and postpartum model called the Perinatal Partners Network.

On this episode of The Lamaze Podcast, Priyanka Banerjee, BSc, MSc, a Content Strategist and Infant Development Consultant with DC Birth Doulas, speaks with Gopi Pillai, PT, DPT, PRPC about the benefits of pelvic floor physical therapy. Gopi is the owner of Blueprint Physical Therapy and specializes in Pelvic Health.

⚠ In today's episode we're going to be talking about issues surrounding female health, particular pelvic floor dysfunction. If you usually listen to the podcast episode with little ones listening in, I just wanted to give a heads up that we will be discussing anatomy and having a frank conversation. This is probably one to listen to with earbuds. ⚠ It's a bit of a cultural joke that moms can't jump or laugh without a little bladder leakage. But it's actually no laughing matter. Not only that, but the symptoms associated with a weak pelvic floor can be a lot more painful and embarrassing than just peeing when you laugh. After my own experience with pelvic pain, incontinence, and pelvic prolapse, I became a bit passionate to talk more openly about this neglected topic. And when I started opening up about it, so many mamas started replying! “I'm not the only one?!” was a common reply. When I let folks know about this interview, I probably got more email replies and social media DMs with questions and comments than any other topic! That surprised me, but it probably shouldn't have. We may not be able to get to all those questions today, but I hope this conversation first of all just helps people know they aren't alone. I had felt so embarrassed and ashamed like there was something wrong with my body alone, and it was a relief to realize how common (if hidden) these issues really are. Second, I hope you can come away with some practical tips and solutions to begin your own process of healing. I also hope it encourages other moms to get help as needed. Our bodies are strong and powerful and have nurtured babies and (if you're listening to this podcast) are now educating the next generation. It is worth it to take the time to protect our bodies, to help them heal, and to help them stay strong. Finally, I hope having this conversation just right out in the open, in your earbuds, on the internet, starts to take just a little bit of the sting of the awkward out of this incredibly important conversation. The more we normalize these discussions, the easier it will be for moms to get the care we all need. So. There's my big long introduction and the WHY behind this episode. Be sure to listen to today's conversation with Dr. Meghan O'Hara, PT, DPT, COMT, PRPC!

Get my 9 page OTs Map to the World of Pelvic Health.Meet me on the OTs for Pelvic Health Facebook Group!Check Out More OT Pelvic Health Content here.Find me on IG! @functionalpelvis-- Transcript -- No matter if you're in OT or PT, so it doesn't matter whether there's an O or a P in your credentials - what's most important is if there's a T. We are all therapists at the end of the day.   All of us have received emails and phone calls for people's lives that we have transformed. That's what's most important and that's what brings us to something like continuing education. We are so hungry to learn more, to develop new skills, to expand our knowledge. By nature, therapists are intellectually curious and compassionate people. There is just so much that OT's and PT's have to learn from one another. I personally have trained with some amazing PTs such as Diane Lee-  her ISM series has been tremendous for my clients and at the same time PTs have taken my online pelvic health course and felt that it brought such a value to their practice. There's a definite need to cross collaborate and interest in serving our clients while expanding our knowledge base. While I know things are changing- there is a huge gap of knowledge around OT's role within the pelvic health field. Most people associate pelvic health with PTs-  so many are surprised to see us – to see ots in this specialty. Although it is within our scope of practice, it is up to each one of us to create our own path to competency to be able to work with our pelvic health clients. I think most of us can agree that with the majority of therapists specialized learning comes post graduation.  Both PT's and OT's come to pelvic health from such varied backgrounds that this is what creates a rich individualized experience for our clients. This however also adds to the confusion around what a pelvic health session is like. It's hard to place an experience in a box when we each have our own way of getting there.  like OTs take their own paths, pts take their own when to comes to specializing in pelvic health. the APTA even has their own women's health section which is incredible and while there are certifications available out there, such as PRPC through Herrmann and Wallace to streamline the path professionals can take, in most areas of the world these certifications are not required for practicing within pelvic health, again adding to the confusion around who's doing what. however there are more clients in need of this very special area of rehab and there's room for us all. Just as OT's and PT's work side-by-side in other fields of rehab, there's a huge need for us to work collaborating in ph, especially when you consider the sensitive taboo nature of this area of practice. It's been my experience that the general population has such poor understanding of pelvic floor function and particularly how it impacts us from a whole body, whole person perspective that I think the more of us -OT and PT- working together in this field to spread the message, the better.  pelvic floor function is a crucial part of a much broader functional tasks of toileting and intimacy, Both of which have broader connections within a person's emotional cognitive and social abilities. It's also important to consider the social implications for people with pelvic floor issues -withdrawal from social and recreational activities, social isolation, disempowerment, lack of self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and the impact on close relationships such as with our spouse, our friends and our children. It's so delightful to have a multidisciplinary approach. It serve
